So long, Chuck...its been a blast, brutha. Being a DC native, I remember the emergence of go go, long before it really had a name. And where I lived @ 1st and Rhode Island Ave., there was a recreation center across the alley from my house, and my Aunt and me, would open the windows in the back of the house, and the music was so loud, it was like we were right there at your concert. I remember seeing Reds & the Boys, EU and you, in concert so many times, I cant even remember.

So, here's to you and yours...I wish you well on the "other side" and thank you for being a major part of my life, when I was a young buck coming up, in Northeast, DC. Peace.
